Music reviews of Dna on Dna

Music Review: Stark, harsh, musical, out at the edge No Wave NYC trio
Rating: 5 Stars

Do you know this band? If not, unfortunately, it appears you cannot sample this CD. Late 70's/early 80's band with Arto Lindsay on grating guitar, a Japanese woman on bass and occasional grating vocals (tho enjoyable verses Yoko style) and R. L. Crutchfield on drums. Part of the NYC No Wave scene. They appear on the amazing 4 band compilation No New York compilation lp/cd produced by Eno resulting in each band maybe recording their finest, most true material ever with JAMES CHANCE and the CONTORTIONS, TEENAGE JESUS and the JERKS (with LYDIA LUNCH doing her definitive grating guitar and lovely vocals) and MARS another band who only has, all together, about this many trax for reissue and, if it's possible, is even a bit more extreme than DNA.

Thanks for making this CD. It brings together virtually everything DNA did on their 2 7"s, their nice 12" and several compilation tracks as well as the No New York trax, I believe.

This band is not for sissys. If you want some sort of gentle pop music flee now. If you're adventurous and wanna withstand slashing guitar and a minimalist sound with vocals that aren't meant to sooth you to sleep, you might give this a try.

Those of us who have heard it know that we love it or others have dropped it like it was blowing up in their hands, I'm sure. This isn't hardcore punk. It can be called punk if you like because it existed concurrently with the growth of punk. But it most appropriately belongs in that special group of bands from that period known as NY No Wave.

It's funny because Arto Lindsay, a Brasilian, went on to do a number of solo albums with that sweet, gentle, soothing bossa nova music. There's occasional hints in some of his songs of a bit 'o grating but just hints, oddly, typically in his songs that are most hit like on his records. He also did an album, Aggregates 1-26, as a different group, the ARTO LINDSAY TRIO of music somewhat similar to this, in the same ballpark let's say but not as severe with the songs averaging one minute.

DNA delivers music that exists nowhere else. Their sound is their own. They staked out their place on the musical spectrum and it's way out there at the end of Western music. I imagine most punx would enjoy it though I can't be sure. I do. Comin' from hardcore punk rock it's a natural to enjoy this grating guitar, short songs and generally severe musical presentation. chrisbct@hotmail.com

Description of Dna on Dna

Previously released on CD by No More Records, now issued on a limited edition 2LP featuring newly-discovered songs exclusive to this LP: "Pompeii," "Shrinking Thing," "Drinking Water," plus two encores from DNA's final performance at CBGB's. Definitive collection of studio and live recordings by New York's seminal no wave band DNA. Surviving two line-ups over a brief period of four years; this highly influential, strikingly original and extremely under-recorded band left a huge void in its wake. Formed in 1978, Brazilian-raised singer/guitarist Arto Lindsay hastily assembled an international trio of non-musicians. Robin Crutchfield played keyboard and Japan's Ikue Mori played drums. DNA played their first gig within weeks and recorded their first 7" shortly afterwards. The ear of Brian Eno was quickly caught, recording them for the infamous No New York compilation alongside James Chance, Mars, and Teenage Jesus & The Jerks. Before No New York was released, Robin left the band after a total tenure of nine months. Bassist Tim Wright had just left Pere Ubu, relocated to NY and quickly joined DNA. With a new face, a new instrument, and a new sound, DNA recorded their classic 9-minute EP A Taste Of DNA. DNA toured the States and Europe, bringing their explosive live show to a wider audience. DNA only released 12 songs during its lifetime, and another 3 shortly afterwards on a European compilation. Their impact was far and wide-reaching. Many musicians have sited DNA as a main influence including Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth and the band Blonde Redhead, who appropriated their name from a DNA song title. This LP compiles all of the studio and many choice live recordings. Of particular interest are the original line-up's "early versions" of "Detached," "5:30" and "Low" (which is closely related to "A New Low"). The unreleased studio tracks "Grapefruit," "Police Chase" and "Young Teenagers Talk Sex" are heard here for the first time, as well as live versions of the unreleased songs "Nearing" and "Surrender." Featuring exclusive liner notes from Byron Coley, Jason Gross and Glenn O'Brien alongside many unseen photos and flyers housed in a gatefold sleeve.
